Sitting between price sensitivity and digitisation, Food & Beverage collaborations are becoming a more accessible way for consumers to flaunt cultural credibility. This is particularly relevant for Gen Z, who look to food as an expression of luxury. Concurrently, #FookTok now boasts 174.6 billion views on TikTok, proving how social media is driving hype for the category. As a result, F&B brands continue to amp up their strategies and move across categories to strengthen their positioning in culture. From the Nestlé Nespresso SA moment at Cannes to the CAFFÈ RIMOWA at Milan Design Week, we unpack some standout formulas employed by leading brands to drive noise and gain cultural credibility.

“What defines brands that we consider to be luxury is a degree of exclusivity and a supply or accessibility constraint. That’s often what drives pricing power beyond the mass premium segment.” Ben Black recently discussed with FoodNavigator’s Augustus Bambridge-Sutton how foods that offer diverse experiences, in addition to exceptional taste, provenance, and sustainability, are poised to become successful luxury brands. Read the full article on FoodNavigator below 👇 #Brands4Good

Hey!! I find it exciting when brands come up with compelling story fragrances that truly connect with people's everyday lives, building more consumer-centric interactions not hiding under the shadows of the product features which is an easy way out. Effective communication is also a product itself when used effectively. Recently, NESCAFÉ, a leading coffee brand, launched a new collection 3-in-1 (Coffee, Milky &Sugar) and instead of going through the conventional route of advertising with the tagline "New 3-in-1 NESCAFE ", they decided to initiate an intriguing and captivating storyline - "Start STRONG..Finish STRONG". It means that starting your daily hustle with a hot cup of 3-in-1 NESCAFÉ is the best way to get motivated and chase after your dreams into actualization because it sharpens our senses and motivates our minds, getting us focused and alert for the day. So, your day starts STRONG with 3-in-1 NESCAFE which ultimately makes you finish STRONG. Wow...this is truly an amazing customer experience storyline to sell. Good Job team NESCAFE!!! #nescafe #brandstrategy #inspiringstories #strong #start #communication #brandcommunication #marketing #marketingcommunication #marketingstrategy #strategy #brandindentity #communication photo credit: NESCAFE

🍔👠 Fast food meets fashion? Yes, it's happening! Our latest piece by Dipti Bramhandkar, Executive Strategy Director for Iris North America explores how restaurants can use unconventional partnerships to keep culturally relevant. Think McDonald's x Moschino, Burger King x Fila in Brazil, and even Pinkberry getting in on the action with a Barbie-themed frozen yogurt! These partnerships are about creating moments that stick with us, tapping into our passions and lifestyles. But most importantly they need to be authentic. It's not about jumping on every trend; it's about finding those genuine connections that resonate with both the brand and the customers. That’s why at Iris we help brands leverage the power of participation to connect to their communities and amplify creative ideas through owned and earned media – something that’s increasingly important as brands struggle to stand out and 79% of consumers report not noticing advertising*. The article also looks at how tech and sustainability are playing their parts in shaping the future of dining. It's all about making our experiences better and keeping things eco-friendly. 👉 Check out the full story below for more insights. *from Iris’s Participation Brand Index 2023 #FastFoodFashionFusion #BrandAuthenticity #CreativeCollabs #CulturalRelevance #ParticipationEconomy

Here's one way to create a brand moment and stand-out: open a branded shop cafe or restaurant. I didn't realize Tapestry (Coach), Kate Spade and Ralph Lauren had pop-up shop branded cafes and coffee shops globally. But this makes so much sense: it allows for curated moments across sensory and visual experiences, and broadens how the customer integrates the brand into their everyday life. Last December, I stopped by the SoHo A-Ok cafe within Aritzia. We attempted to order lavender specialty drinks but the barista only accepted Aritzia gold coins -- which were offered post-purchase. What a hook. Immediately, we felt a sense of exclusivity and urgency. As a marketer, I was low-key shocked and impressed. $16 black tights later, I ordered a specialty drink and considered, was this the brand experience I signed for when I walked past the bar? Imagine any other brand requiring a purchase for a drink or meal. I may have been romanced by the deep leather chairs, gold brass fixtures and frothy drinks, surrounded by holiday cheer and vegan leather pants and puffer jackets. I still shop at Aritzia and think they're killing it in-store and with next-gen shoppers. Do these branded experiences connect new and loyal audiences even deeper with retailers? What's next level for fashion retailers and luxury brands? Personally would love to see Ralph Lauren open a boutique hotel and go into branded hospitality as Forbes suggests. Conversely, would be curious how other categories -- such as food and beverage brands -- spin out similar experiences. What are your thoughts? #OOH #retail #luxury https://lnkd.in/gyrEthAt

It isn’t easy for distilleries to stimulate sales of well-established products. Here are six ways you can stimulate sales at the local level: 1. Culinary alchemy dinners Turn your brand from a simple product to a lifestyle. Forge partnerships with upscale bars, restaurants, and cultural venues to host curated experiences with your product as the center. Go above to make it feel special, and keep the guest list super limited. 2. Involved tastings Replace traditional tastings with interactive events. Collaborate with mixologists and chefs to create unique pairings that showcase the versatility of the spirits. 3. Super-exclusive collaborations Partner with artists, designers, celebrities or influencers for exclusive limited-edition releases. These collaborations can bring fresh perspectives to the brand while generating buzz among both existing and new consumers. The unique bottles can serve as collector's items, creating a sense of urgency. 4. Personalized labels Introduce a limited-time rebranded packaging option where consumers can customize their bottles with personalized labels or engravings. This works both for luxury brands and mid-market offerings - the latter brings the feeling of luxury to the masses. Not only does this tap into sentimentality, but it also encourages people to post pictures of their bottles. If it worked for Coca-Cola, why not your brand? 5. Distillery night experience Create an exclusive overnight experience at the distillery. Give a small number of fans a night in a specially designed accommodation within the distillery premises or a luxury hotel nearby. The experience includes a guided evening tour, intimate tastings, and an opportunity to witness the distillation process during the night. 6. Labels that do things Use QR codes on labels to invite select purchasers to the events listed above, behind-the-scenes content and discounts for curated products that pair well with the bottle (see collaborations above). — Go from being merely another bottle on store shelves to a brand with an emotional connection to customers. Next time that person sees a competitor’s bottle next to yours, what will they feel? If you did any of the above, they’ll remember how cool the experience was and choose yours. #cpgmarketing #spiritsindustry #brandingtips
